ITC, CAST, IEEE, and Test Vision Team up on Test Programs at SEMICON West

SAN JOSE,
Calif. — June 13, 2012 — In cooperation with International Test Conference (ITC),
Collaborative Alliance for Semiconductor Test (CAST), IEEE, and SEMI, SEMICON West 2012 will feature the latest trends,
technology, solutions and methodologies in semiconductor test. In addition to presentations by industry
experts in conference TechXPOTs, an expanded Test Vision 2020 Conference will
again be held in conjunction with SEMICON West, providing critical information
and networking opportunities for test industry buyers, managers, developers and
technologists.

Test Sessions at SEMICON West

At the TechXPOT
session in Moscone Center’s North Hall on Tuesday, July 10, the afternoon
session on Adding
Value through Yield and Better Data Management will examine how leading IC manufacturers
and OSATs are better leveraging data to improve yield, decrease
test time and perform effective root cause analysis to lower test costs. Real solutions and techniques in Adaptive
Test, closed-loop data management, DFM-aware and layout-aware diagnosis tools,
3D-IC Test, and other areas will be discussed by leading experts from Mentor
Graphics, Texas Instruments, Optimal Test, Teradyne, Camstar Systems and
Advantest.

On Wednesday, July 11, in a
first-ever collaboration with International
Test Conference, leading
peer-recognized academic and technical presentations on semiconductor test will
be presented at the TechXPOT North on the exhibition floor at SEMICON
West. Leading papers on cell aware
analysis, systematic defect analysis, end-to-end error correction, and timing
variation tolerance will be presented by speakers from Mentor Graphics,
Carnegie Mellon University, University of California at Santa Barbara, and the
China Academy of Sciences.

Test
Vision 2020 Expands

Co-organized by SEMI and IEEE, Test Vision 2020 (formerly ATE Vision 2020) has emerged as the premier workshop in
semiconductor test and Automated Test Equipment. Attracting executive attendance from a broad
cross-section of the semiconductor community, the workshop features a
compelling line-up of papers, keynotes and panel participation from leaders in
the industry. This year’s workshop will
expand to one and one-half days, beginning on Wednesday, July 11 at 3:00pm and
continuing until 5:00pm on Thursday, July 12.
Experts and executives from chip manufacturers, EDA companies, fabless semiconductor companies, outsourced assembly and
test firms, and other industry stakeholders will discuss the future of
semiconductor testing, and network with colleagues in a friendly, interactive
environment.

SEMICON
West Goes Mobile

SEMICON West has introduced a new
mobile app for attendees, bringing virtually all of the show content to
iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. The SEMICON West mobile app, sponsored by
Applied Materials, acts as a portable guide to the event, with access to
complete exhibitor listings, floor plans, program schedules, speakers, and
local information. The new app is available now from the iTunes Store and
Google Play. More information about the
app is available at: www.semiconwest.org/Participate/MobileApp
